Set in 1950s Mexico City, an American expatriate in his late forties lives a quiet, isolated life within a small American enclave. His world changes when a young student arrives, inspiring him to forge a meaningful human connection at last. Directed by Luca Guadagnino (Challengers, Call Me By Your Name), this lush and evocative adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ cult novel features a powerful, deeply moving performance by Daniel Craig.

Reviews

‘Queer doesn’t scrimp on provocation and pleasure, but it’s also a beautiful film about male loneliness, and the way a solitary life can so easily shade into a life sentence.’
★★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘Guadagnino has followed up this year’s triumphant tennis drama Challengers with a film that would seem miles apart, yet treats desire equally as a kind of supernatural possession.’
★★★★
